Background: Reduced meal frequency patterns have become popular for weight loss, maintenance, and improving cardiometabolic health. The extended fasting windows with these dietary patterns could lead to greater protein breakdown, which is a concern for middle-aged and older adults who may need higher protein intakes to maintain or increase net protein balance.
Objectives: This study aimed to quantify muscle and whole-body protein kinetic responses to 3 different daily protein intakes within a 2-meal eating pattern.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to enhance the UK Millennium Cohort Study by linking it with street-level crime data to assess the impact of local crime on participants' experiences and perceptions of safety.
- Using police data from a span of eight years, the researchers created individual-level crime measures for 11,365 participants, focusing on crime counts and rates surrounding their homes at different ages.
- Results showed stable overall crime rates, but notable fluctuations in specific crime types, particularly an increase in violent and sexual offences, as well as an observed negative relationship between household income and exposure to neighborhood crime.
The quality of a dietary protein refers to its ability to provide the EAAs necessary to meet dietary requirements. There are 9 dietary amino acids that cannot be metabolically produced in the body and therefore must be consumed as part of the diet to avoid adverse metabolic consequences. These (EAAs) serve a variety of roles in the body.

H. influenzae is often associated with pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in pediatric cohorts, but in adults, studies have yielded conflicting reports around the impact(s) on clinical outcomes such as lung function decline.
